Welcome to my blog!

Hello,

This is the blog site that I use for quick access to my research and reading links that I use in my library classes. There are also several extra educational sites that deal with Reading, Science, Social Studies and Math that I have links for so that students can use them in their spare time at school or home over breaks or during the summer. Please feel free to explore and use them.
